Less toys, more TVs! Couples with tellies in bedroom enjoy twice as much sex

Two thirds of Brits also thought they have a healthier sex life because of it and around half of those are happy they can watch their favourite programmes at the same time.

According to the poll, just under half (47 per cent) of people admit to actually watching the telly during their necking sessions with their partners.

While 26 per cent of those who don't have a TV in their room said they thought it might make them less active in the bedroom.

The research was conducted by www.VoucherCodesPro.co.uk and 2,431 people in relationships were asked about their love lives and how TV can play a big part in it.

“Technology is becoming such a pivotal part of everyday life.”

More than a third (37 per cent) of partners that have a TV in their room thought it improved their sex life because they can watch erotic movies and programmes together.

Yet 29 per cent said their partner would put something boring on and therefore sex would distract them from it.

And a surprisingly small minority of just 14 per cent of those who have a TV in the bedroom say it brings them and their partner 'closer together'.

George Charles, spokesperson for VoucherCodesPro.co.uk, said partners don't need gadgets and toys to improve their sex lives - just buy a TV.

He said: “We’re a little surprised that Britons who have a TV in their bedroom have a more active sex life than those who don’t, but it makes more sense when you look at the possible reasons why.

“Technology is becoming such a pivotal part of everyday life and it’s becoming much more common to have a TV in your bedroom than to not.

"Whilst it’s much better for your health to use your bedroom as a place to sleep and your living room as a place to watch TV, it seems that the addition of a plasma could spice things up between the sheets!”
